This is another reason why I'm trying to move away from anything Google. They have a pretty good track record of shutting things down

Pretty good? It seems like it's their business modell.
Devil's (literally) advocate: they also have released a ton of services. Having said that, I still miss Inbox (the alternative gmail app/frontend)
At this point they can just shut down Google. Oh well. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Is there an alternative?
It's right in the meme
Nice! Had no idea wtf qgis was and figured it was a username or some tangentially related software (and possibly paid)
Horrible text colour choice tbf
The text color wasn't a choice; it was just a consequence of putting the preexisting QGIS logo over the preexisting meme background.
The meme maker should've layered a shadow or contrasting-color rectangle under it.
QGIS logo:
I am not color blind, but holy shit was that easy to miss.
Is there a plug in for 3d terrain / buildings yet?
Yeah that's the only part of GEarth I really care about.
Okay but I'm pronouncing it "Cue-Jizz", solely because pronouncing Arc-Jizz that way royally annoys my Earth Science major wife. XD
Actually, I was going to download this yesterday.
I need a good app to create gpx files for hiking..
While I am loathe to recommend a non-FOSS option, I have been really happy with GaiaGPS.
Yeah.. I am also aware of Captopo too.. GaiaGPS is one I looked at, and FarOut (based on info from Maddie and Tom: https://theadventuregene.com/australian-alps-walking-track/#navigation ) .
Google Earth Pro was 100% free for a while though, and I was more familiar with it. I used a OSM mapping layer on top
QGIS is what the meme is about. I didn't see it when I looked either
Yeah.. When you mentioned, it makes sense now.
Remember to never try any new Google products for at least five years to see if they’re serious about it
Remember ~~to~~ never ~~try~~ any ~~new~~ Google products ~~for at least five years to see if they’re serious about it~~
Remember never any Google products?
Edit: Now I see it. 'Remember, never any Google products'. I spent ages and just couldn't see what you meant. 🤦
I'm still pissed about how they removed recursive calling from hey google actions
It was neat, the few times i tried it out 10 years back. But Osmand is more performant on the phone than Earth was on desktop and has better features.
Will my flatpak app just stop working?
I imagine like everything else it relies on their servers to function so....prolly =\
